PREFACE 


This  volume  is  issued  by  the  North  Carolina  Legislative  Ref- 
erence Library  in  order  to  furnish  in  succinct  form  information 
about  the  State,  its  government  and  institutions,  which  other- 
wise would  require  much  investigation  in  many  different 
sources.  Unless  otherwise  stated,  the  data  in  each  case  is  the 
latest  available. 

Similar  manuals  were  issued  by  the  Secretary  of  State  in 
1903,  1905,  and  1907,  and  by  the  North  Carolina  Historical 
Commission  in  1909,  1911,  1913,  1915,  1917,  1919,  1921,  1923, 
1925,  1927,  1929,  and  by  the  Legislative  Reference  Library  in 
1931,  1933,  1935,  and  1937.  The  demand  for  these  volumes  has 
been  so  great  that  all  previous  editions  have  been  exhausted.

tion; but  when  amendments  are  pending,  the  question  shall  be

same  to  the  Senate  at  the  time  the  bill  or  other  matter  under 
consideration  is  reported  to  the  Senate  or  taken  up  for  con- 
sideration. 

25.  When  a  motion  for  the  previous  question  is  made  and  is 
pending,  debate  shall  cease,  and  only  a  motion  to  adjourn  or 
lay  on  the  table  shall  be  in  order,  which  motions  shall  be  put 


26  Legislative  Department

and  after  the  previous  question  is  seconded,  such  member  shall 
be  entitled  to  offer  his  amendment  in  pursuance  of  such  notice. 

Other  Questions  to  Be  Taken  Without  Debate 

26.  The  motion  to  adjourn  and  lay  on  the  table  shall  be 
decided  without  debate,  and  the  motion  to  adjourn  shall  always 
be  in  order  when  made  by  a  Senator  entitled  to  the  floor.

decided  without  debate. 

29.  When  the  reading  of  a  paper  is  called  for,  except  peti-

determined  by  the  Senate  without  debate. 

30.  And  Senator  requesting  to  be  excused  from  voting  may 
make,  either  immediately  before  or  after  the  vote  shall  have 
been  called  and  before  the  result  shall  have  been  announced, 
a  brief  statement  of  the  reasons  for  making  such  request,  and 
the  question  shall  then  be  taken  without  debate.  Any  Senator 
may  explain  his  vote  on  any  bill  pending  by  obtaining  permis- 
sion of  the  President  before  the  vote  is  put:  Provided,  that  not 
more  than  three  minutes  shall  be  consumed  in  such  explana- 
tion. 

Questions  That  Require  a  Two-Thirds  Vote 

31.  No  bill  or  resolution  on  its  third  reading  shall  be  acted 
on  out  of  the  regular  order  in  which  it  stands  on  the  Calendar,

32.  No  bill  or  resolution  shall  be  sent  from  the  Senate  on

seat  until  the  President  shall  have  determined  whether  he  was 
in  order  or  not;  if  decided  to  be  out  of  order,  he  shall  not 
proceed  without  the  permission  of  the  Senate;  and  every  ques- 
tion of  order  shall  be  decided  by  the  President,  subject  to  an 
appeal  to  the  Senate  by  any  Senator;  and  if  a  Senator  is  called 
to  order  for  words  spoken,  the  words  excepted  to  shall  be

in  all  respects  in  a  similar  manner  with  public  bills. 

55.  The  Clerk  of  the  House  shall  be  deemed  to  continue  in 
office  until  another  is  appointed. 

56.  On  the  point  of  no  quorum  being  raised,  the  doors  shall 
be  closed  and  there  shall  be  a  call  of  the  House,  and  upon  a 
call  of  the  House  the  names  of  the  members  shall  be  called 
over  by  the  Clerk  and  the  absentees  noted,  after  which  the 
names  of  the  absentees  shall  again  be  called  over.  Those  for 
whom  no  excuse  or  sufficient  excuses  are  made  may,  by  order 
of  those  present,  if  fifteen  in  number,  be  taken  into  custody  as 
they  appear,  or  may  be  sent  for  and  taken  into  custody  wher- 
ever to  be  found  by  special  messenger  appointed  for  that  pur- 
pose. 

Previous  Question 

57.  The  previous  question  shall  be  as  follows:  "Shall  the 
main  question  be  now  put?"  and,  until  it  is  decided,  shall 
preclude  all  amendments  and  debate.  If  this  question  shall  be 
decided  in  the  affirmative,  the  "main  question"  shall  be  on  the 
passage  of  the  bill,  resolution,  or  other  matter  under  con- 
sideration; but  when  amendments  are  pending,  the  question 
shall  be  taken  upon  such  amendments,  in  inverse  order,  with- 
out further  debate  or  amendment.  If  such  question  be  decided 
in  the  negative,  the  main  question  shall  be  considered  as 
remaining  under  debate:  Provided,  that  no  one  shall  move  the 
previous  question  except  the  member  submitting  the  report  on 
the  bill  or  other  matter  under  consideration,  and  the  member 
introducing  the  bill  or  other  matter  under  consideration,  or 
the  member  in  charge  of  the  measure,  who  shall  be  designated 
by  the  chairman  of  the  committee  reporting  the  same  to  the 
House  at  the  time  the  bill  or  other  matter  under  consideration 
is  reported  to  the  House  or  taken  up  for  consideration. 

When  a  motion  for  the  previous  question  is  made,  and  pend- 
ing the  second  thereto  by  a  majority,  debate  shall  cease;  but  if 
any  member  obtains  the  floor,  he  may  move  to  lay  the  matter 


52  Legislative  Department 

under  consideration  on  the  table,  or  move  an  adjournment, 
and  when  both  or  either  of  these  motions  are  pending  the 
question  shall  stand: 

( 1 )  Previous  question. 

(2)  To  adjourn. 

(3)  To  lay  on  the  table. 

And  then  upon  the  main  question,  or  amendments,  or  the 
motion  to  postpone  indefinitely,  postpone  to  a  day  certain,  to 
commit,  or  amend,  in  the  order  of  their  precedence,  until  the 
main  question  is  reached  or  disposed  of;  but  after  the  previous 
question  has  been  called  by  a  majority,  no  motion,  or  amend- 
ment, or  debate  shall  be  in  order. 

All  motions  below  the  motions  to  lay  on  the  table  must  be 
made  prior  to  a  motion  for  the  previous  question;  but,  pending 
and  not  after  the  second  therefor,  by  the  majority  of  the  House, 
a  motion  to  adjourn  or  lay  on  the  table,  or  both,  are  in  order. 
This  constitutes  the  precedence  of  the  motions  to  adjourn  and 
lay  on  the  table  over  other  motions,  in  Rule  25. 

Motions  stand  as  follows  in  order  of  precedence  in  Rule  26: 

Previous  question. 

Adjourn. 

Lay  on  the  table. 

Postpone  indefinitely. 

To  commit  or  amend. 

When  the  previous  question  is  called,  all  motions  below  it 
fall,  unless  made  prior  to  the  call,  and  all  motions  above  it 
fall  after  its  second  by  a  majority  required.  Pending  the  second, 
the  motions  to  adjourn  and  lay  on  the  table  are  in  order,  but 
not  after  a  second.  When  in  order  and  every  motion  is  before 
the  House,  the  question  stands  as  follows: 

Previous  question. 

Adjourn. 

Lay  on  the  table. 

Postpone  indefinitely. 

Postpone  definitely. 

To  commit. 

Amendment  to  amendment. 

Amendment. 

Substitute.

The  previous  question  covers  all  other  motions  when  sec- 
onded by  a  majority  of  the  House,  and  proceeds  by  regular 
graduation  to  the  main  question,  without  debate,  amendment, 
or  motion,  until  such  question  is  reached  or  disposed  of. 

58.  All  committees,  other  than  the  Committee  on  Appro- 
priations, when  favorably  reporting  any  bill  which  carries  an 
appropriation  from  the  State,  shall  indicate  same  in  the  report, 
and  said  bill  shall  be  re-referred  to  the  Committee  on  Appro- 
priations for  a  further  report  before  being  acted  upon  by  the 
House.  All  committees,  other  than  the  Committee  on  Finance, 
when  favorably  reporting  any  bill  which  in  any  way  or  manner 
raises  revenue  or  levies  a  tax  or  authorizes  the  issue  of  bonds 
or  notes,  whether  public,  public-local,  or  private,  shall  indicate 
same  in  the  report,  and  said  bill  shall  be  re-referred  to  the 
Committee  on  Finance  for  a  further  report  before  being  acted 
upon  by  the  House. 

59.  The  Principal  Clerk,  the  Engrossing  Clerk,  and  the 
Sergeant-at-Arms  may  appoint,  with  the  approval  of  the 
Speaker,  such  assistants  as  may  be  necessary  to  the  efficient 
discharge  of  the  duties  of  their  various  offices,  and  one  or

60.  The  Speaker  may  appoint  a  Clerk  to  the  Speaker,  and 
he  may  also  appoint  ten  pages  to  wait  upon  the  sessions  of  the 
House,  and  when  the  pressure  of  business  may  require,  he 
may  appoint  five  additional  pages.

Appropriations,  Counties,  Cities  and  Towns,  Education, 
Finance,  and  Roads,  may  each  appoint  a  clerk  to  the  said  com-

54  Legislative  Department 

heretofore  provided  for  are  to  be  appointed  by  and  with  the 
approval  of  the  Speaker.  All  committee  clerks  after  being 
named  as  provided  by  this  rule  shall  be  subject  to  assignments 
by  the  chairman  of  the  Rules  Committee  when  they  are  not 
engaged  with  the  committee  or  committees  to  which  they  have 
been  regularly  assigned. 

62.  That  no  clerk,  laborer,  or  other  person  employed  or 
appointed  under  Rules  59,  60,  and  61  hereof  shall  receive  dur- 
ing such  employment,  appointment,  or  service  any  compensa- 
tion from  any  other  department  of  the  State  Government,  or 
from  any  other  source,  and  there  shall  not  be  voted,  paid,  or 
awarded  any  additional  pay,  bonus  or  gratuity  to  any  of  them, 
but  said  persons  shall  receive  only  the  pay  for  such  duties  and 
services  as  now  provided  by  law.  When  the  House  is  not  in 
session  the  pages  shall  be  under  the  supervision  of  the  Prin- 
cipal Clerk. 

63.  The  chairman  and  five  other  members  of  any  committee

of  business. 

64.  The  Committee  on  the  Journal  shall  examine  daily  the 
Journal  of  the  House  before  the  hour  of  convening,  and  report 
after  the  opening  of  the  House  whether  or  not  the  proceedings 
of  the  previous  day  have  been  correctly  recorded. 

65.  When  a  bill  shall  be  reported  by  a  committee  with  a 
recommendation  that  it  be  not  passed,  but  accompanied  by  a 
minority  report,  the  question  before  the  House  shall  be  "The 
adoption  of  the  minority  report,"  and  if  failing  to  be  adopted 
by  a  majority  vote,  the  bill  shall  be  placed  upon  the  unfavor- 
able calendar.  Such  minority  report  shall  be  signed  by  at 
least  three  members  of  the  committee  who  were  present  when 
the  bill  was  considered  in  committee:  Provided,  however,  that 
where  a  minority  report  is  filed  the  proponents  and  opponents 
of  the  question  presented  thereby  shall  be  allowed  not  to 
exceed  ten  minutes  on  each  side  to  explain  the  question: 
Provided  further,  that  by  a  majority  vote  the  time  may  be 
extended  for  a  discussion  of  the  minority  report  and  on  the 
merits  of  the  bill.  In  the  event  there  is  an  unfavorable  report 
with  no  minority  report  accompanying  it,  the  bill  shall  be 
placed  upon  the  unfavorable  calendar.  To  take  a  bill  from 
the  unfavorable  calendar,  a  two-thirds  vote  shall  be  necessary. 


Rules  of  House  of  Representatives  55 

65a.  A  bill  from  the  unfavorable  calendar  shall  not  be 
debatable,  but  the  movant  may  make  a  brief  and  concise  state- 
ment of  the  reasons  for  the  motion  before  making  the  motion, 
taking  not  more  than  five  minutes. 

66.  Whenever  a  public  bill  is  introduced  a  carbon  copy 
thereof  shall  accompany  the  bill.  The  Reading  Clerk  shall 
stamp  the  copy  with  the  number  stamped  upon  the  original 
bill.  Such  copy  shall  be  daily  delivered  to  the  joint  committee 
hereinafter  provided  for.  The  Principal  Clerk  shall  deliver  the 
carbon  copy  of  the  bills  designated  to  be  printed,  as  herein- 
after provided  for,  to  the  Public  Printer  and  cause  four  hun- 
dred copies  thereof  to  be  printed.  On  the  morning  following 
the  delivery  of  the  printed  copies  the  Chief  Clerk  shall  cause 
the  chief  page  to  have  one  copy  thereof  put  upon  the  desk  of 
each  member  and  shall  retain  the  other  printed  copies  in  his 
office.  A  sufficient  number  of  the  printed  copies  for  the  use  of 
the  committee  to  which  the  bill  is  referred  shall  be  by  the 
chief  page  delivered  to  the  chairman  or  clerk  of  that  com- 
mittee. If  the  bill  is  passed,  the  remaining  copies  shall  be  by 
the  chief  page  delivered  to  the  Principal  Clerk  of  the  Senate 
for  the  use  of  the  Senate.  The  cost  of  printing  shall  be  paid 
from  the  contingent  fund  of  the  House  of  Representatives.  The 
Chairman  of  the  Rules  Committee  of  the  House  and  the  Chair- 
man of  the  Rules  Committee  of  the  Senate  shall  appoint  a 
sub-committee  consisting  of  two  members  of  the  House  and 
two  members  of  the  Senate  from  the  body  of  the  House  and 
Senate,  and  such  chairmen  shall  notify  the  Principal  Clerk 
of  the  House  and  of  the  Senate  who  has  been  so  appointed. 
Such  sub-committee  shall  meet  daily  and  examine  the  carbon 
copies  of  the  public  bills  introduced  and  determine  which  of 
such  public  bills  shall  be  printed  and  which  shall  not,  and 
stamp  the  copies  accordingly.  Such  sub-committee  shall  serve 
for  one  week  unless  for  good  cause  the  chairmen  of  the  re- 
spective rules  committees  shall  determine  otherwise.  If  the 
member  introducing  a  public  bill,  which  the  committee  shall 
determine  should  not  be  printed,  so  desires,  he  may  appear 
before  the  committee  at  the  next  meeting  thereof  with  refer- 
ence thereto. 


56  Legislative  Department 

67.  Whenever  any  resolution  or  bill  is  introduced  a  carbon 
copy  thereof  shall  be  attached  thereto,  and  the  Principal  Clerk 
shall  cause  said  carbon  copy  to  be  numbered  as  the  original 
resolution  or  bill  is  numbered,  and  shall  cause  the  same  to  be 
available  at  all  times  to  the  member  introducing  the  same.  In 
case  the  resolution  or  bill  is  a  public  resolution  or  bill,  an 
additional  carbon  copy  shall  also  be  attached  thereto  for  the 
use  of  the  Public  Printer,  under  the  provisions  of  Rule  66.

NORTH  CAROLINA  PROBATION  DEPARTMENT 

Chapter  132,  P.  L.  1937 


Probation  Commission 

Composition — Chairman  and  four  members. 

Personnel — The  Honorable  Wilson  Warlick,  Judge  Superior 
Court,  Chairman;  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction,  Clyde 
A.  Erwin;  Attorney  General,  A.  A.  F.  Seawell;  Commissioner 
of  Paroles,  Edwin  Gill;  and  John  S.  Bradway,  Director  Legal 
Aid  Clinic,  Duke  University.

one  member's  appointment  expiring  each  year. 

Compensation — Actual  expenses  not  to  exceed  5  cents  a  mile 
for  travel  and  $4.00  a  day  for  subsistence  while  attending 
Commission  meetings. 

The  Legislature  of  1937  provided  for  the  establishment  of  a 
State-wide  adult  probation  system  and  for  the  appointment  by 
the  Governor  of  a  Commission  of  five  men.  The  Commission 
exercises  general  supervision  over  the  Department,  formulates 
policies,  adopts  general  rules,  regulates  methods  of  procedure, 
sets  standards  for  personnel  and  appoints  a  full-time  director. 
The  Director  has  supervision  of  the  staff  and  Probation  Officers 
and  directs  the  administrative  procedure.  Under  the  Statute 
the  Probation  Officers  supervise  all  adult  persons  placed  on 
probation  by  the  criminal  courts  of  record  in  North  Carolina. 
This  includes  27  Superior  Courts  and  97  Recorder  and  County 
courts. 

Composition  of  Department  Other  Than  Commission — Direc- 
tor of  Probation,  2  Case  Supervisors,  11  Probation  Officers, 
3  Women  Supervisors,  Secretary,  Supply  and  Budget  Officer 
and  Record  Clerk. 

Personnel — J.  H.  Sample,  Director;  C.  B.  Vaughan  and  L.  H. 
Ranson,  Case  Supervisors;  Mae  Oliver,  Fleda  Summers  Whita- 
ker,  and  Elizabeth  James  Barrett,  Office  Staff.  Probation  Offi-

[67] 


68  Probation  Department 

A.  Y.  Howell.   Women  Supervisors:  Pauline  Cobb  Griffin,  Mrs. 
Charles  Hutchins  and  Maude  R.  Jimison. 

Compensation — Director,  $3,750;  Case  Supervisors,  $3,000 
and  $2,700:  Probation  Officers  and  Women  Supervisors,  $1,860. 

The  State  is  divided  into  11  probation  districts,  each  con- 
sisting of  two  judicial  districts.  One  probation  officer  has  head- 
quarters in  each  district  and  supervises  probationers  from  the 
courts  in  his  territory.  The  districts  average  9  counties  and 
11  courts  each.  The  women  supervisors  handle  the  women  on 
probation  from  33  counties  each. 

The  Probation  Officers  complete  case  histories  on  each 
person  placed  under  their  supervision  and  contact  them  at 
least  once  every  thirty  days  during  their  period  of  probation. 
Every  probationer  is  required  to  report  in  writing  each  month 
as  to  their  activities,  including  name  and  place  of  employment, 
amount  of  money  earned  and  how  expended  and  other  perti- 
nent data  as  to  their  conduct.  In  addition  to  supervision  duties 
the  Probation  Officers  make  pre-sentence  investigations  for  the 
courts  when  the  Judges  are  not  familiar  with  the  defendants 
and  want  to  have  before  them  the  social  history  as  well  as  the 
past  records  before  passing  sentence. 

During  the  first  year  of  operation  of  the  probation  system, 
from  November  1,  1937,  to  November  1,  1938,  there  were 
1,238  persons  placed  on  probation  by  the  courts.  This  is  about 
an  average  of  100  to  each  probation  officer  and  woman  super- 
visor. Of  these,  86,  or  approximately  6^2  per  cent,  violated 
the  conditions  of  probation  and  were  brought  back  into  court 
by  the  probation  officers  at  which  time  their  suspended  sen- 
tences were  placed  into  effect  and  they  are  now  in  the  Peni- 
tentiary or  in  road  camps.  All  of  the  27  Superior  Court  judges 
have  placed  defendants  on  probation  and  76  of  the  Recorder 
and  County  court  judges.  The  average  length  of  the  proba- 
tionary sentence  imposed  by  the  courts  is  2.4  years  and  it  is 
anticipated  that  when  the  Department  has  been  in  operation 
for  two  and  a  half  years  there  will  be  between  2,000  and  3,000 
men  and  women  under  the  supervision  of  the  probation  officers 
and  supervisors.

PLATFORMS  OF  POLITICAL  PARTIES,  1938 


PART  III 


1.  State  Democratic  Platform. 

2.  State  Republican  Platform. 


[73] 


STATE  DEMOCRATIC  PLATFORM 


Adopted  at  Raleigh,  May  19,  1938 

The  platform  follows: 

The  delegates  to  this  convention,  representing  the  Democrats 
in  the  one  hundred  counties  of  the  State,  adopt  the  following 
declarations  as  the  platform  of  the  party  for  1938: 

National  Administration 

We  endorse  the  record  of  the  national  administration  under 
the  leadership  of  our  great  President,  Franklin  D.  Roosevelt. 

We  endorse  the  heroic  measures  that  have  been  recom- 
mended by  the  President  and  adopted  by  the  Congress  to 
restore  normal  conditions  to  prosperity  for  all  classes  of  our 
people.  We  believe  the  groundwork  has  been  laid  for  an  era 
of  unprecedented  prosperity  for  agriculture,  labor,  business 
and  industry. 

In  the  spread  of  the  national  territory  from  the  original  13 
States  to  the  present  48  States,  every  new  geographical  frontier 
was  achieved  under  Democratic  leadership  and  Democratic 
statesmanship.  With  fixed  geographical  boundaries.  Democratic 
leadership,  in  State  and  nation,  is  establishing  within  these 
boundaries  new  frontiers  of  human  rights  and  of  social  service 
and  security.  Never  before  has  the  popular  mind  been  so  fixed 
upon  individual  rights  and  the  obligations  of  government  to 
the  forgotten  man.  Never  before  has  there  been  even  an  effort 
made  by  our  national  government  to  provide  security  for  old 
age,  the  unemployed  and  other  groups  in  need  of  public  assist- 
ance. The  achievement  of  these  great  objectives  necessarily 
involves  troublesome  adjustments,  but  no  one  antagonizes  those 
new  objectives,  and  the  same  statesmanship  that  has  projected 
them  can  be  depended  upon  to  find  the  means  to  make  them 
work,  and  without  injustice  to  establish  them  as  a  part  of  the 
fixed  policy  of  our  government. 

Congressional  Delegation 

We  observe  with  pride  the  growing  prestige  of  North  Caro- 
lina's delegation  in  the  National  Congress,  and  record  our 
appreciation  of  the  services  rendered  by  tiic  State's  Senators 
and  Representatives.  >  ^5  1 


76  Political  Platforms 

State  Government 

We  endorse  the  progressive  record  of  the  State  Government, 
through  its  General  Assembly,  its  departments  and  institutions, 
under  the  leadership  of  our  popular  Governor,  Clyde  R.  Hoey. 
His  administration  is  establishing  new  frontiers  of  service  to 
all  the  people. 

Public  Education 

Public  education  has  for  years  been  the  pride  of  Democratic 
government  in  this  State.  It  has  been  fostered  until,  with  an 
eight  months  high  school  in  reach  of  every  child,  we  are  achiev- 
ing the  Aycock  objective  of  an  equal  educational  opportunity 
for  all  the  children  of  the  State.  During  this  administration 
we  have: 

Restored  substantially  the  pre-depression  level  of  salaries 
for  teachers; 

Provided  free  textbooks  for  all  the  children  in  the  elemen- 
tary schools; 

Improved  all  secondary  school  roads  and  provided  more  safe 
and  improved  equipment  for  transportation  of  school  children; 

We  are  rapidly  extending  and  enlarging  facilities  for  voca- 
tional training  of  children  in  high  schools. 

This  record  of  service  is  a  pledge  of  future  interest  in  and 
liberal  support  of  public  education  by  the  Democratic  party. 

Public  Health 

Our  liberally  supported  and  progressive  and  aggressive 
public  health  service  has  gone  a  long  way  in  its  efforts  to 
promote  the  health  of  our  people,  and  particularly  to  eradicate 
infectious  and  contagious  diseases.  Our  efforts  in  this  direction 
have  been  supplemented  in  an  important  way  by  the  action  of 
the  trustees  of  the  seven  million  dollar  endowment  fund  of  the 
Smith  Reynolds  estate  in  dedicating  the  income  of  this  endow- 
ment to  the  eradication  of  venereal  diseases,  and  to  be  ex- 
pended in  complete  co-operation  with  the  State  Board  of 
Health.  This  liberal  action  should  stimulate  our  own  co- 
operative action  to  achieve  this  great  purpose. 

Public  Roads 

We  approve  \he  major  interest  of  the  present  administration 
in  improving  secondary  public  roads  that  serve  the  intimate 


State  Democratic  Platform  77 

needs  of  those  not  on  the  main  State  highways.  While  this 
program  is  being  carried  out  in  liberal  measure  large  expendi- 
tures are  continually  being  made  to  improve  and  extend 
standard  highways.  As  rapidly  as  funds  permit  new  links  are 
being  laid,  congested  links  widened,  dangerous  curves  are 
being  removed  and  shoulders  improved  in  the  interest  of  safety 
and  convenience.  Every  possible  means  of  co-operation  is  and 
should  be  given  to  the  completion  as  rapidly  as  possible  of  the 
crest-of-the-ridge  scenic  highway  to  the  Great  Smoky  Moun- 
tains National  Park — the  most  beautiful  area  on  the  American 
continent. 

Highway  Safety 

We  pledge  our  support  to  the  program,  sponsored  by  the 
present  administration,  to  use  every  reasonable  means  of 
engineering,  education  and  enforcement,  to  make  the  use  of 
our  highways  safe,  and  to  this  end  we  call  upon  all  public 
officials  to  enforce  traffic  laws  without  fear  or  favor,  and  we 
invite  the  co-operation  of  all  the  people  of  the  State  in  support 
of  this  effort  to  reduce  fatalities,  injuries  and  property  damage 
on  highways. 

Social  Security 

Through  the  co-operation  of  Federal,  State  and  local  govern- 
ments, regular  monthly  benefit  payments  are  now  being  made 
to  approximately  fifty  thousand  people  in  the  State  who  never 
knew  before  that  government  was  interested  in  their  difficult 
problems  of  age,  unemployment  and  other  causes  of  disability. 

Agriculture 

The  fact  that  North  Carolina  outranks  every  State  in  the 
Southeast  in  the  value  of  its  farm  products  is  a  significant 
indication  of  the  intelligent  interest  that  State  government  has 
maintained  in  the  State's  chief  business  of  agriculture,  through 
its  State  Department  of  Agriculture,  its  College  of  Agriculture 
and  extension  service,  its  agricultural  courses  in  rural  high 
schools,  and  through  the  numerous  activities  of  these  agencies. 
It  is  co-operating  fully  with  every  helpful  service  of  the 
Federal  government  to  improve  the  economic  condition  of  the 
most  numerous  class  of  our  citizenship.  It  pledges  a  continu- 
ance of  every  helpful  service  to  achieve  this  end.

Industry  and  Labor 

Under  just  laws,  providing  fair  and  equal  treatment  for 
capital  and  labor,  North  Carolina  has  become  a  great  indus- 
trial State. 

Today,  as  in  the  past,  the  Democratic  party  recognizes  its 
responsibility  for  the  welfare  of  the  workers  of  the  State  and 
we  pledge  ourselves  to  continue  the  policies  initiated  by  our 
party  that  have  won  national  recognition  for  North  Carolina 
in  the  field  of  labor  legislation  and  labor  law  administration. 
We  are  proud  of  the  fact  that  at  the  Fourth  National  Confer- 
ence on  Labor  Legislation  held  in  the  Nation's  Capital  in 
October,  1937,  North  Carolina  was  one  of  the  12  States,  and 
the  only  Southern  State,  to  be  cited  for  outstanding  progress 
in  labor  legislation,  in  that  our  State  had  enacted  an  Unem- 
ployment Compensation  Law:  had  established  a  State  Employ- 
ment Service;  had  provided  for  assistance  for  our  disabled 
aged  workers;  had  provided  for  occupational  disease  coverage 
in  our  Workmen's  Compensation  Law;  had  provided  for  scien- 
tific surveys  of  working  places  for  occupational  disease  haz- 
ards; had  passed  a  maximum  hours  law  for  men  and  women; 
had  passed  a  model  boiler  inspection  law,  and  other  safety 
measures;  had  adopted  an  industrial  code  second  to  none  in 
the  nation,  and  had  enacted  the  best  child  labor  law  in  the 
United  States. 

We  will  continue  to  protect  the  worker  in  the  exercise  of 
his  just  rights,  recognizing  among  these  the  right  of  collective 
bargaining  and  self-organization  free  from  interference.  We 
pledge  ourselves  to  maintain  and  further  perfect  the  State's 
child  labor  law  and  its  maximum  hours  law  and  to  urge  enact- 
ment of  other  laws  to  promote  the  welfare  of  our  workers  and 
the  improvement  of  working  conditions  in  North  Carolina. 

The  Democratic  party  has  opposed,  and  will  continue  to 
oppose,  all  forms  of  intimidation  and  coercion,  whether  against 
worker  or  employer,  and  holds  the  worker's  rights  to  work 
as  sacred  as  his  right  not  to  work.  We  hold  that  the  true 
interests  of  workers  and  employers  do  not  conflict;  that  differ- 
ences between  employers  and  workers  should  be  settled  not  by 
industrial  war,  but  by  peaceful  conference.  We  commend  both 
employers  and  employees  upon  the  peaceful  relationships  ex- 
isting throughout  industrial  North  Carolina. 


State  Democratic  Platform  79 

Advertising 

We  approve  the  program  of  presenting  intelligently  and 
without  boast  to  the  outside  world  the  many  advantages  which 
our  State  has  to  offer  to  prospective  tourists,  to  prospective 
residents,  and  to  prospective  business  and  industry.  They  may 
be  assured  of  ideal  conditions,  and  the  friendly  welcome  of  a 
friendly  people. 

Prison  Reform 

We  are  making  rapid  progress  in  a  humane  and  enlightened 
treatment  of  our  criminal  class. 

Our  central  State  prison  has  been  completely  modernized 
and  made  fire-proof  and  sanitary,  and  now  ranks  with  the 
very  best  institutions  of  its  kind  in  the  country. 

With  WPA  assistance  we  are  rapidly  approaching  the  point 
where  every  prison  camp  will  be  fire-proof  and  sanitary. 

Through  a  regularly  employed  religious  instructor,  religious 
services  are  held  every  Sunday  in  every  prison  and  prison 
camp  in  the  State.  This  service  is  provided  through  regularly 
arranged  volunteer  teacher  service. 

Recreational  facilities  are  provided  and  wholesome  sports 
encouraged. 

A  genuine  effort  is  made  to  improve  the  religious,  moral 
and  educational  standards  of  prisoners.  It  is  believed  that  this 
program  will  prevent  the  return  of  many  offenders  to  criminal 
ways. 

The  parole  system  has  been  broadened,  and  under  act  of  the 
last  General  Assembly  a  new  probation  system,  under  the 
supervision  of  a  State  Board  and  probation  field  officers,  has 
been  inaugurated.  It  is  believed  that  an  intelligent  use  of  this 
system  will  result  in  reformation  to  good  citizenship  in  many 
cases. 

The  State  Budget 

The  progressive  program  that  is  being  carried  out  in  this 
biennium  is  being  achieved  without  any  increase  in  tax  bur- 
dens, and  every  dollar  of  expense,  and  of  bond  interest  and 
maturing  bonds,  is  being  met  from  current  revenue.  An  im- 
portant reduction  in  the  State  debt  is  being  made  every  year. 
Notwithstanding  this  broad  program  of  public  service  tlie 
average   tax  on  property   in   North  Carohna   is   lower  than   in 


80  Political  Platforms 

any  other  American  State,  because  no  tax  is  levied  by  the 
State  on  farms,  homes  or  any  kind  of  tangible  property.  The 
State  has  been  striving  for  a  fair  and  just  tax  system  to  carry 
its  heavy  load  of  public  sei'vice  that  reaches  every  home  in 
the  State,  without  a  tax  on  property,  and  without  unreasonable 
burdens  on  any  class.  An  essential  feature  of  this  program 
has  been  a  consistent  policy  of  strict  economy  in  every  branch 
of  the  State  service.  Carefully  scrutinized  appropriations  are 
again  carefully  scrutinized  before  spendable  allotments  are 
made  by  the  Budget  Bureau.  All  purchases  are  made  on 
advertised  bids  to  the  Division  of  Purchase  and  Contract.  State 
general  fund  revenues  are  collected  at  an  average  cost  of  one 
and  thirteen  one-hundredths  (1.13)  per  cent.  The  total  admin- 
istrative cost  for  all  departments  of  the  State  government  is 
only  four  and  eight-tenths  (4.8)  per  cent  of  general  fund 
revenue. 

Good  Will 
We  commend  the  fine  public  service  of  Governor  Hoey  in 
promoting  understanding  between  the  State  government  and 
the  people,  and  his  administration  to  a  spirit  of  friendship  and 
co-operation  between  all  sections  and  between  all  classes  of 
people  in  the  State.  In  thirty-eight  years  of  wholesome  Demo- 
cratic control  of  our  State  government  we  have  achieved  an 
enviable  position  in  the  sisterhood  of  States  for  clean,  pro- 
gressive government.  In  this  spirit  of  co-operation  we  will  go 
furthest  in  the  development  of  a  great  State,  and  in  its  ability 
to  serve  the  needs  of  all  the  people. 


STATE  REPUBLICAN  PLATFORM 


The  Republican  party  of  North  Carolina,  in  convention 
assembled  in  Charlotte,  on  March  16,  1938,  adopted  the  follow- 
ing platform  and  if  entrusted  with  the  power,  will  enact  those 
principles  and  pledges  into  law. 

State  Affairs 

North  Carolina,  geographically  and  from  a  standpoint  of 
natural  resources,  is  one  of  the  most  favored  States  in  the 
Union.  The  Republicans  of  North  Carolina  are  proud  of  their 
State,  and  glory  in  its  record  of  achievements.  With  its  natural 
treasures  and  the  boundless  energy  of  an  intelligent  and  indus- 
trious population,  our  State  should  be  able,  under  proper 
political  management,  to  conduct  its  public  affairs  without 
increasing  the  per  capita  cost  of  State  government,  or  increas- 
ing its  bonded  indebtedness;  yet,  during  the  past  few  years, 
under  exclusive  Democratic  control,  it  has  increased  the  cost 
of  government  more  than  300  per  cent,  and  has  increased  the 
bonded  debt  of  the  State  over  1000  per  cent. 

In  order  to  provide  lucrative  jobs  for  Democratic  politicians 
and  their  lieutenants,  more  than  100  departments,  bureaus, 
and  commissions  have  been  created,  at  an  enormous  and 
unnecessary  cost,  and  in  order  to  provide  funds  for  this  extrav- 
agance and  waste,  our  State  Legislatures  and  taxing  authori- 
ties, year  after  year,  spend  their  time  in  searching  out  new 
things  to  be  taxed,  new  methods  of  taxation,  and  new  ways  of 
exacting  more  and  more  money  from  the  people  under  the 
guise  of  taxes.  We  favor  the  return  by  the  State  to  the  counties 
of  the  entire  net  intangible  property  tax. 

The  General  Sales  Tax 

One  of  the  most  unjust  and  annoying  of  these  tax  devices  is 
the  general  sales  tax,  which  falls  most  heavily  upon  the  poor 
and  laboring  classes  and  forces  the  merchants  and  tradesmen 
to  become  unwilling  tax  collectors  for  the  State  and  witliout 
reward  or  compensation.

Wrongful  Division  of  Road  Funds 

The  tax  on  gasoline  and  the  motor  vehicle  tax  is  levied  and 
collected  ostensibly  to  build  and  maintain  the  public  highways, 
yet  in  order  to  take  care  of  their  annual  deficits  in  operating 
the  State  penitentiary,  the  Democratic  machine,  by  a  cunning 
legislative  device,  has  placed  that  institution  under  the  High- 
way Commission,  and  thereby  shift  the  burden  of  its  mainte- 
nance to  the  road  fund,  which  naturally  retards  road  construc- 
tion and  maintenance. 

This  is  a  wrongful  diversion  of  public  funds,  and  is  immoral, 
if  not  illegal,  and  should  be  openly  condemned  and  promptly 
discontinued. 

Reduction  of  Motor  Vehicle  License  Tax 

Since  the  motor  vehicle  license  tax  is  excessively  high,  and 
not  being  used  exclusively  for  road  purposes,  we  demand  that 
the  license  tax  on  motor  vehicles  be  substantially  reduced. 

The  Republican  party  pledges  the  people,  if  entrusted  with 
that  power,  to  repeal  the  onerous  general  sales  tax,  to  reduce 
the  annual  license  tax  on  motor  vehicles,  to  stop  the  wrongful 
diversion  of  road  funds  to  support  the  State  penitentiary,  and 
we  further  pledge  to  abolish  every  department,  bureau,  com- 
mission and  office  that  is  not  essential  to  an  economic  adminis- 
tration of  our  State  government,  thereby  reducing  the  operat- 
ing expense,  and  return  many  hundred  useless  political 
employees,  now  pensioners  of  the  State,  back  to  private 
employment  and  honest  labor. 

Honest  Elections  and  Repeal  of  Absentee  Ballot 

The  Republican  party  has  always  stood  for  fair  elections  and 
again  pledges  the  people  of  this  State  to  advocate  the  repeal 
of  the  Absentee  Ballot,  for  all  elections,  the  abolition  of  mark- 
ers, and  demand  election  officials  of  our  own  choosing  and 
equal  representation  of  both  parties  in  the  registration  of 
voters,  and  in  the  conduct  of  primary  and  general  elections, 
to  the  end  that  every  qualified  voter,  irrespective  of  party,  race 
or  creed,  may  be  assured  the  right  of  a  free  ballot  and  an 
honest  count,  the  only  safeguard  of  free  representative  govern- 
ment. 


State  Republican  Platform         83 

Non-Partisan  Judiciary 

We  favor  a  non-partisan  judiciary  in  this  State  in  like  man- 
ner as  we  have  a  non-partisan  federal  judiciary. 

The  policy  of  selecting  outstanding  lawyers  of  both  parties 
for  positions  on  the  Superior  and  Supreme  Courts  is  not  only 
just  and  fair,  but  would  prove  a  wholesome  policy  and  remove 
any  suspicion  of  political  influence  in  the  administration  of 
justice  in  the  courts  of  this  State. 

Intoxicating  Liquors 

We  believe  the  question  of  the  regulation  or  prohibition  of 
the  manufacture  and  sale  of  intoxicating  liquors  for  beverage 
purposes  is  strictly  a  social  and  moral  problem,  which  cannot 
be  solved  by  making  it  either  a  local  or  partisan  issue.  Never- 
theless, we  oppose  the  legalized  manufacture  and  sale  of 
intoxicating  liquors  in  any  part  of  North  Carolina  unless  first 
approved  by  the  people  in  a  State-wide  referendum. 

Public  Schools 

We  favor  a  State-supported  uniform  system  of  public  schools, 
as  provided  for  in  the  Constitution,  with  free  educational 
opportunities  for  every  child  in  the  State,  whether  it  lives  in 
a  poor  county  or  a  rich  county.  We  favor  free  text-books,  and 
safe  transportation  of  the  pupils,  where  necessity  requires  it. 
We  favor  a  high  standard  for  teachers,  who  shall  be  paid  a 
decent  salary,  and  we  favor  a  non-partisan  School  Commission 
and  County  Boards  of  Education,  to  the  end  that  no  political 
consideration  will  enter  into  the  control  of  the  schools,  or  in 
the  selection  of  the  teachers. 

Non-Partisan  Control  of  State  Institutions 

We  favor  now,  as  we  have  always  favored,  liberal  support 
of  all  the  charitable,  penal,  and  educational  institutions  of  the 
State,  to  be  controlled  by  non-partisan  boards. 

All  relief  funds,  whether  from  the  county.  State  or  national 
government,  are  derived  from  all  the  people,  and  the  adminis- 
tration of  these  funds,  whether  for  the  aged  and  poor,  or  for 
farm  relief,  is  in  no  sense  a  political  matter,  and  all  individuals 


84  Political  Platforms 

and  local  agencies  that  administer  these  funds  should  be 
selected  without  regard  to  party  affiliations,  and  should  appor- 
tion these  funds  without  injustice  or  discrimination. 

National  Affairs 

The  New  Deal  came  into  power  upon  a  Democratic  platform 
denouncing  extravagance  and  pledged  to  a  program  of  economy 
in  government.  It  has  scorned  its  covenant  with  the  people, 
undermined  American  traditions  and  institutions,  imposed 
higher  and  more  punitive  taxes,  incurred  a  greater  public 
indebtedness,  and  practiced  more  waste,  extravagance  and 
graft  in  the  expenditure  of  the  people's  money  than  any  other 
administration  in  the  Nation's  history. 

It  has  used  public  money  to  build  and  maintain  a  p.  rt  san 
political  machine. 

It  has  urged  the  passage  of  unconstitutional  laws. 

It  has  endeavored  to  destroy  the  independence  of  the  Judi- 
ciary and  fostered  disregard  for  law. 

It  has  arrayed  labor  against  capital,  employee  against 
employer,  poor  against  rich,  class  against  class,  faction  against 
faction,  and  section  against  section,  and  has  destroyed  the 
morale,  self-reliance  and  spirit  of  free  initiative  of  millions  of 
our  people. 

It  has  fostered  socialism,  communism,  and  dictatorship,  and 
has  made  free  America  into  a  land  of  tyranny  and  oppression. 

It  has  penalized  thrift,  individual  initiative,  and  free  enter- 
prise, at  the  same  time  placing  a  premium  upon  idleness  and 
indolence. 

We  believe  in  government  by  law  enacted  for  the  general 
welfare,  rather  than  by  men  who  are  actuated  by  malice  or 
sectional,  factional,  or  class  prejudice.  We  believe  that  ordered 
prosperity  and  the  happiness  of  our  people  are  being  retarded 
by  the  conduct  of  high  governmental  agencies  in  arousing 
factional,  class,  and  sectional  prejudice  and  hate.  Government 
belittles  itself  by  encouraging  a  spirit  of  vindictiveness  instead 
of  cultivating  the  spirit  of  the  "good  neighbor"  and  brotherly 
love  among  the  people,  and  also  by  admittedly  pvmitive  legis- 
lation and  taxation.  We  do  not  believe  the  country  can  prosper 
under  an  administration  which  covets  the  "mastery"  over  any 
law-abiding  element  of  our  citizenship. 


State  Republican  Platform  85 

We  solicit  the  support  and  co-operation  of  all  citizens  regard- 
less of  party  affiliation  who  believe  in  the  policies  of  govern- 
ment herein  declared;  who  adhere  to  the  governmental 
principles  of  Washington,  Jefferson  and  Lincoln;  who  believe 
that  the  maintenance  of  the  principles  promulgated  in  the 
Declaration  of  Independence  and  embodied  in  the  Federal  and 
State  Constitutions  are  essential  to  the  preservation  of  our 
Republican  form  of  government;  and  who  believe  that  govern- 
ment within  the  limits  of  our  written  Constitution,  interpreted 
in  the  light  of  Twentieth  Century  progressing  civilization,  and 
the  rights  of  the  States  as  therein  declared,  must  be  preserved. 

With  all  those  of  this  faith  we  desire  to  join  hearts  and 
hands  in  earnest  devotion  to  these  sacred  principles  of  free 
government.  Without  partisan  spirit,  placing  country  above 
party,  with  charity  for  all,  and  with  malice  toward  none,  let 
us  join  battle  with  those  who  would  destroy  the  constitutional 
liberties  of  our  people.
